It is strongly advised that you retain the services of a San Diego DUI
attorney at this point in order for him to get the best possible results
for you. The sooner your lawyer enters the case, the higher the possibility
for a successful defense.

Your Civil and Criminal Cases

There are two government bodies involved in a DUI: the DMV and the court.
A skilled DUI lawyer will be able to greatly assist you in both. Once
you have been arrested, you have 10 days to schedule a DMV hearing to fight
suspension of your driver's license. You will want a skilled negotiator to present your case in this hearing
to improve your chances of a waiver of suspension. If you fail to request
a hearing within 10 days of your arrest, your license will automatically
be suspended in 30 days.

Completely separate from the DMV hearing is a court hearing where you will
be formally charged with the DUI and you will then make your plea of guilty
or not guilty. At this stage, an experienced and well-versed DUI lawyer
will move to suppress any evidence illegally obtained or move for a dismissal or
reduction in charges if possible.

If the matter moves forward from here, there will be a trial. A proficient
trial lawyer will present your case professionally and challenge the prosecutor's
evidence at every turn.
